I find these shoes to be very stable. The outside of the shoes, on the inside by the arches, look a little like old lady shoes because of the support. When I'm wearing these shoes, my ankles are really straight (I overpronate). Yes, the shoes have a very wide toe box, which is good for me. I have a narrow heel and have been able to tie the shoes to keep my heels from slipping. I wear them to the gym and at home when I am working around the house.

I pronate, I have a wide forefoot and a narrow heel. I walk, I don't run. These shoes are a godsend. My back doesn't hurt, my heels don't hurt, my knees don't hurt. They keep me in alignment. Yes, they are a little orthotic looking, but if you pronate you have no choice. The tongue is a little hard to smooth down, you have to run your fingers over it each time you lace up. I'll take that for the comfort that I have in these. I wear a regular width in these, by the way, where I normally wear a D. I was fitted by a professional, so I know that it's the correct width.

If you have flat feet and/or need a stable, motion control shoe, this may be the shoe for you.

I have run in Saucony, Asics, Brooks, Reebok, NB, and Nike. This is by far the best shoe so far for me.

I have trouble finding a comfortable running shoe with most brands because the arch support is too high. Not so with this shoe. I love the wider platform and stability. The wider toe box is a plus, especially if your feet tend to swell while running in hot weather.

I was very disappointed in this shoe. I had last year's model of this shoe and loved it. It was very supportive and I did a lot of running in them. As expected, they wore out over time so I got this newer model a month ago. I hate them. Someone mentioned the oversized tongue and that was the first thing I felt when putting them on. They are no where as supportive as the older model. If you compare the two there is at least 1/4 inch less arch support. This new sneaker has an insert inside rather than the shoe itself being as supportive. I had shin splints the first week of running in these, which indicated I was using new muscles due to different support. They squeak and have some sort of leak as I see condensation in the "air bubble" on the bottom of the shoe. They are attractive and comfortable if you are just going to walk around in them and use them for fashion, but if you have flat feet and run, I would not recommend these. I actually just bought the old model on clearance here online and wish I did that to start as I would have saved myself $120, but the new ones were much better looking and not so much like grandma's orthotic shoe.

If you normally wear a medium width comfortably, order the C/D width. These shoes run very narrow. There is no exchange available unless they make an error. Very disappointed with this policy!!!!!

Extremely comfortable shoe. Wearing with orthotics as a walking shoe and works well. Recommended by both my physical therapist and doctor. Good looking once you get used to them, I only would wear "designer" sneakers and now I see how uncomfortable other shoes are.

I have EXTREMELY flat feet that severely over pronate when I walk and run. I purchased these shoes in July and I can honestly say they are the BEST runnung shoes I have ever worn, it is almost like walking and running on clouds. I am about to purchase my second pair and will stick with this brand. Hopefully they will come out in a variety of colors.

I purchased this shoe on the recommendation of my podiatrist. I over pronate terribly, plus I'm hyperflexible, so I need the most stabilizing shoe I can get. I wear a C width -- just in the wide range -- yet this shoe is narrow and pinches in the toes. It also bends in an awkward place, cutting across the top of the foot. True, I probably wouldn't roll my ankles in these shoes...but most likely because I won't be wearing them. Very disappointing.

I have used these motion control shoes for more than 10 years, first running, now walking. They are well made and come in a wide width. They have gotten pretty pricey, so I look for good deals and close-outs since I generally wear out shoes every six months.

Comfortable, cool, and great support. These shoes were recommended for my by a specialist who analyzed my running bio-mechanics. This is my third pair of Saucony Stabil Running shoes. The first pair corrected my pronation and injury issues immediately. I swear by these shoes.
